I've been so behind with everything this week...but at least I can get this post in :D My answers to Claire's discussion Qs for the read along are here!
Mod
Thanks to everybody for taking part, and to Claire and Chris for helping me to run my first Read Along as an organiser! It's been a bit of a learning experience, but I could get used to it... ;-)
So! On to the final round of questions, for "Heresy" to the book's end...
1. Let's start with the Toremi, since we've waited this long to get to them! As we've been discussing for a while, we do get to learn more about the Toremi, about their culture and how they think and behave. In light of what happens when the Wayfarer reaches Hedra Ka, what's your take on the Toremi now? Are the GC right to abandon their negotiations or could there have been a chance to make something of it?
2. A visit to a Solitary Sianat colony in "Heresy" provides a potential cure for Ohan's illness, but they make it fairly clear they don't want it - though there may be some debate about whether or not Ohan is in their right mind... Corbin takes matters into his own hands in that respect, and he does it in a crucial moment following the attack on the Wayfarer. Do you think Corbin did the right thing?
3. Ohan survives the attack on the ship, but Lovey (as we know her) doesn't. Were you at all prepared for what happened to the AI? And in light of all that, do you think Pepper's offered solution was the right one?
4. This one is less of a "thinky" question and more of a "wrap up" one, but I'm curious for your answers - now that we've finished the story, what scenes/moments do you remember best as your favourites, if any?
And that's it! Thanks again, everybody, and I hope I see at least some of you again for future read alongs... :)

...working on week 4 post. Am totally in love with this book. I'm assuming there will be an awesome sequel one day that picks up on some of the interesting dangling threads :)
